John 18:19-24 - Jesus Before Annas

19 Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20 Jesus answered, "I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in the synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews gather; I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why ask me? Ask my hearers what I have said to them; they know what I said."

22 As he said this, one of the attendants who stood by gave him a blow, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"

23 "If I have said anything wrong," replied Jesus, "prove it; if I said what was true, why strike me?"

24 & 25] Simon Peter followed Jesus along with another disciple; and as this disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest, he passed into the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus,
